The concept of a sunset is that which has made humans show interest for hundreds of years. It is a moment of transformations, where the bright shine out of a day gives way to the darkness of the night. The beauty of a sunset depends in its shiny nature – a good balance of light and dark, color and the shadow. Capturing a sunset photograph is an activity which is common among photographers and also nature enthusiasts, as it lets one to freeze that moment in time and loves the stunning beauty naturally of the sky.

What's the best time to capture a sunset photograph and why?

The best time to take a picture of the sunset is during the golden hour, which is the time shortly after sunrise or maybe before sunset when the light is soft and as well warm. This time of day creat a magical glow which enhances the colors of the sky, making it good for picturing a stunning sunset photograph. The light during this golden hour is diffused and creates a along shadows, adding depth and also interest to the image.

Why is the sky always golden or orange whenever the sun is setting?

The sky always look golden or orange during sunset because of a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering. This occurs when sunlight is disturbed by particles in the atmospheric part of the Earth, such as dust, water vapor, and also gas molecules. When the sun is lower in the sky, its light must go through a thicker layer of the Earth's atmosphere, which cause shorter wavelengths such as blue and green to disperse away, while longer wavelengths such as red and orange still stay. This is the reason the sky appears to be a warm, golden hue during the period of the sunsets.

Between these two sunset pictures, which do you think is giving a real sunset picture? State your reasons

Upon closer sight of the first sunset picture, different key characteristics shows that it might not be a real sunset. The colors look overly saturated and shinny, with a orange color and pink hue that might be gotten from editing software. Additionally, the sun itself looks to be too large and perfectly circular in shape, which could initially be as a result of editing instead than it natural occurrence. The overall composition of the image also looks to be so perfect, lacking the organic and unthinkable elements usually seen in good sunset photos.

In contrast, the second picture of the sunset presents a more realistic and natural picture of the sunset. The colors are more muted and also subtle, with a slow transition moving from orange to blue as the sun sets below the horizon. The sun looks to be smaller and less defined, casting a warm and soft glow across the sky.

Based on these observations, it can be said that the second sunset picture is more likely to be a real sunset.

CONCLUSION

I will love to invite some of my friends to join me participate in this contest.
